UW School of Nursing Funding

The School of Nursing has limited funds available for student scholarships and loans. Most of this support is determined by student need. If you think you will want to considered for funding from the School of Nursing be sure you have submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or have renewed one previously submitted (the priority deadline for FAFSA's is typically February 28).

IN ADDITION, undergraduate and graduate students newly admitted to the UW School of Nursing, must submit a School of Nursing Financial Aid Application, if and when they accept the offer of admission to the School. Submitting this Financial Aid Application and a FAFSA allows you to be automatically considered for all School of Nursing funding for which you are eligible. Check the School of Nursing Financial Aid Criteria Information Sheet to assure that you understand eligibility and priorities for School of Nursing funding.

Continuing students who would like to be considered for funding after their first year of enrollment should submit an updated FAFSA, check the School of Nursing Financial Aid Criteria Information Sheet to assure that they understand eligibility and priorities for School of Nursing funding and then submit a School of Nursing Financial Aid application by February 28th prior to the year for which they wish to be considered for funding. Sources of funding include:

Traineeships - Federal money may be awarded to the School of Nursing for graduate students. Amount of funding varies per year and may pay tuition with or without a
monthly stipend. Traineeships for specific areas of study include the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Traineeship for Occuptional Health Nursing students.

Research and Teaching Assistantships - Priority is given to doctoral students, who work 20 hours per week in exchange for tuition waiver and health insurance coverage. Some funding is available for masters students. Openings will be posted via email to all eligible students.
